“I’ve worked in this chemist for so long but I have no desire to work anywhere else. It’s part of my life and I love it.

“I’ve seen many changes over the years but thankfully I’ve managed to get to grips with the modern technology of tills and computers and every day I’m always learning, it’s great to keep my mind active.

“I’ve no immediate plans to put my feet up, I love going to work and playing bowling matches and hope to continue for many years to come.”

Joining in the celebrations with Sadie were area manager Tony Toner and store manager Lyndsay Sinclaire.
